- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Cayenne pepper sauce, low sodium
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

- 0.5 cup Carrots, shredded

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and pour the low sodium chicken broth over them.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding with two forks.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Stir in the low sodium cayenne pepper sauce and warm through, creating a buffalo sauce.
Combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce in the baking dish, stirring to coat evenly.
Assemble the sliders by placing a lettuce leaf on each bottom half of the buns.
Top with the shredded buffalo chicken, followed by a sprinkle of sliced celery, shredded carrots, and blue cheese crumbles.
Place the top half of the buns over the fillings and serve the sliders warm.
